Steven T Abell is the author and performer of Days in Midgard: A Thousand Years On,
a collection of modern legends based on the myths of the Vikings. From its inception as an oral storytelling project and through years of performance, Days in Midgard has finally become a work of the printed page.

I'll perform at the monthly Telling Time event, 4:00pm Sunday 6 December 2009, 200 La Casa Via, Walnut Creek CA 94526. $5 at the door. I'll tell a classic Norse myth and Endocrinology, from my book. Refreshments served, open story swap after.

• The 2009 performance at Pantheacon was a success, with four new Days in Midgard stories. Also, heathen rockstar Hauk and I sang the kind of song they might sing over in Jotunheim. This year's performance was done in the round, which added a new dimension to the storytelling. It was good to see so many familiar faces in the audience, along with so many new ones.

• I host an open storytelling group called the East Bay Pagan Storytellers and Listeners at the Ancient Ways bookstore in Oakland CA, very close to the MacArthur BART station. This is a regular meeting, held the first Wednesday of every month at 7:30pm. There are no dues or paperwork: just show up. You can tell, or just listen. Of course, we'd like to hear you tell, even if you've never done it before. I'm heathen (Asatru), but this group is pagan-friendly in the larger sense (Wicca, Santeria, Feri, and other traditions), so you can tell stories you might not feel comfortable telling elsewhere. We'll probably even understand what you're talking about. And, while this group has a pagan focus, we're happy to hear lots of kinds of stories here. Come and enjoy.
